Oh yes, the classic “the poor people are secretly happy and that bothers me” argument. It’s like a cat call for stupid people. The whole point of it is to say “you’re not allowed to have anything remotely nice because I consider myself better than you.”

It’s mental illness made into a political platform.

Their position is more accurately something like "If I have to pay for you to have things, you shouldn't be allowed to have nicer things than I can afford."
